You remind me of her, you have a lot in common.

Don’t you mean a half-joke like the other night with the flags? :)
Just one, admittedly absurd example of someone uninformed wanting to vote for something they had little understanding of.
Of course there are are different forms like those that read Facebook memes about pensions being better in Germany and assume we are being fucked over and bring up WW2, or 2021 cheerleaders of austerity.
Ahh, you’re going down “you’re uninformed that’s why you vote the way you do”.
This tactic has worked brilliantly for your side of the argument in recent years. Please keep saying it to anyone that disagrees with you, it’ll ensure your politics never get in again.
The fact is, you obviously don’t know who I voted for, to express this gutter point.
Oh, and I don’t have social media at all, apart from this forum, if that counts?

Last surveý on it in sep 2020
Seems quite a few are like me, don't give a shite if they choose to split then up to them, if they stay that's fine too

Lol. Only the 2021 austerity point refers to you.
I never actually said that garbage that you have assumed I believe everyone voting against my position is uninformed. Plenty of people on both sides would be, brexit was probably more appealing to these types because it was seen by some as anti-establishment and patriotic. I honestly couldn't care less who you vote for, there will never be a UK popular party with policies that neatly align with your own world view.
And the absurdity is I don’t support austerity so yet again you’re trying to write a biography of me without actually knowing what I think.
What was this all about-

Good on you. I seem to recall you were recently making the case for the coalition's austerity, so good to see you don't support it now. I take the view it wasn't necessary on both occasions.
I have no inclination to write a biography about you, it was you who first responded to me in this thread. You are one of the more forward people in telling us your views, my perception of your views can only consist of what you say on here. I accept the limitations of thatand the possibility I'm wrong but so should you when you start referring to people collectively as commies.
It was a summary of what that meant to me, it wasn't about you. The Facebook memes post was about a former colleague who discussed it over lunch. I thought immediately it was simplistic and wrong but knew better to tell her otherwise. I'm not sure why you are struggling with the concept that people can be misinformed about politics and their voting intentions might be bent by this misunderstanding. Why would call me Dave keep on using Liam Byrne's "sorry, we have run out of money" note at the treasury unless this was the case?
I acknowledged the need for reducing the deficit, I just think the measures and targets were too hard and too quick. A cut back on spending was needed but I’d have had done it on a significantly lesser scale, over a longer period of time.
I made the point the British public voted them in twice on this ticket though, because of the acknowledgment of brining the deficit down.
My actual economic views are of capitalism that is regulated and a sufficient safety net for those who fall on hard times or cannot work.
